The early design stage for building renovation with a novel loop-heat-pipe based solar thermal facade (LHP-STF) heat pump water heating system: Techno-economic analysis in three European climates (2015)
Journal Article
Zhang, X., Shen, J., Adkins, D., Yang, T., Tang, L., Zhao, X., …Luo, H. (2015). The early design stage for building renovation with a novel loop-heat-pipe based solar thermal facade (LHP-STF) heat pump water heating system: Techno-economic analysis in three European climates. Energy Conversion and Management, 106, 964-986. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2015.10.034

Most of the building renovation plans are usually decided in the early design stage. This delicate phase contains the greatest opportunity to achieve the high energy performance buildings after refurbishment. It is therefore important to provide the...
